"I'll... protect you," she whispers, gasping for air. Every breath they take crashes into the other's lips. Her voice a blend of strength and something dangerously soft. She's Zephyr-fierce, unpredictable, and impossible to ignore.
He doesn't move.
Just watches her-jaw tight, eyes stormy.
In the dimly lit corner, there's barely enough room to breathe-let alone think. Their bodies are inches apart. Heat radiates off their skin, mingling with the electricity in the air.
She puts his life in danger.
And she also swears to protect him?
What is she really?
A savior cloaked in mystery-or a predator playing a longer game?
What lies beneath her vow?
